When David and Helen Smallbone, the phenomenal parents who have nurtured the talents behind For King and Country and Rebecca St James, sit down for a chat, it's hard not to feel as if you've been invited into the warm, bustling kitchen of a family home steeped in creativity and faith. This heartfelt conversation traverses the rich landscape of their lives, where film and ministry intersect with the day-to-day of parenting musicians and storytellers. They generously offer up laughs—imagining a young Mel Gibson portraying David on screen—and delve into the unique journeys of their children, providing a window into the intentional and sometimes controversial choices they've made in their family's story.

Join us as we weave through the Smallbones' experiences from the challenges of shaping young lives to the serenity found in tending a farm amidst the music industry's whirlwind. They reveal the imprint of prayer on their family's fabric and recount moments of encouragement that have anchored them through financial trials. Their reflections on the power of music to carry messages of hope and their unwavering belief in a providence that orchestrates miracles will leave you inspired. It's a tapestry of conversations that resonate with the harmonies of love, faith, and a legacy that's as much about the notes they've nurtured in their children as it is about the lives they've touched through their journey.
